Halloween is on Sunday but I could not wait! What are you carving this year? I see that pumpkin price has been dropped, so I might get another one! So Today I wanted to share how I made this Pokemon jack-o-lantern! My this year's design is Flareon and Vulpix, they are both Fire Pokemon and I also carved Gengar as jack-o-lantern because he is ghost Pokemon! I used some cool tricks for the light, so I hope this blog might be helpful when you make your own for this year.
Here is a video ↓
Tip #1 : buy flat faced pumpkin!
It may be sound strange but it is so much easier to carve and write design on it.
Tip #2 : Draw a design with water pen You can easily wipe it of with wet paper towel after you are done carving
Tip 3 : Cut the top with 60 degree angle
Tip 4 : Made the pumpkin as thin as possible. So the light can see through it.The lighting contrast will make the difference in the end.
Do regular carving steps
#Tip 5 : Put long toothpicks to hold light when you flash the light from the top, the light will come through evenly so your design look better! I love using this trick because it does not cause any fire and lights are pretty powerful so your jack-o-lantern look so much better than using cancel inside.
I celebrated Early Halloween by Pizza after I was done making pumpkin 🎃
If you have any tip for carving pumpkin, please share! I would like to do that again before Halloween!
